Hi New on this forum, I will be starting this kit this evening after work, will be uploading progress pictures regularly,

:guilty:

Not built it but it's a lovely car. I see one every now and then bombing 'round Stoke (God know what it's doing here!) and it's a gorgeous motor. Especially the fire flying out of the exhaust!

More PE parts sets it off great

Wheels fitted to chassis

Fantastic detail and very nicely painted and detailed. The trouble is it will be such a shame to cover it all up!

Model is now complete:goodnews:

heres the rear hatch before fitting

Heres the complete car, I chose to mask & spray the Red stripes, they come on the decal sheet but we all know how awkward larghe Ones are:D

With rear canopy open to see the engine, even the prop is Stainless steel

The detail on this kit is amazing and would recomend it to anyone

Nice one Neil, that looks very nice must have been a pig to decal up but it does look very good.
